Hi Howard & All,

I'm in a similar predicament, albeit not so urgent.

I'm looking at APPRO (http://appro.com/) 1RU dual Athlon servers.
(Available from Emagen (http://emagen.com.au/) for purchases in
Australia).

My Zope installations typically use external processes like MySQL,
HTMLDOC, apache/ssl, sendmail, etc., so the second CPU is useful as
overflow in crunch situations.

    From recent discussions, it appears that Zope doesn't benefit much from a
    dual processor system, but it does benefit from higher clock rates and more
    RAM.  So should I invest in a faster single-proc system with a couple of
    gigs of RAM, or go with a slower dual-proc box?
